Research technology planning (within school districts).  Review your school districts technology plan (attached) and discuss the following:  ( a good reference to use is The Technology Coordinator’s Handbook)

1) How does the plan take into account long-range funding issues? Make suggestions on how short-term and long-range budgeting should be done in order to properly fund the technology plan.

2) How does the plan focus on instructional and administrative enhancements and goals?

3) How does plan address implementation?

4) How does the plan address all aspects of technology integration, including professional development and/or staff training?

For each area of discussion, please identify research-based suggestions for improvement.

(Please use online resources and/or PDF’s I can access.)
